Orange syrup

In the summer, the body especially requires increased fluid intake. That is why all kinds of soft drinks are in increased demand: soda, mineral water, juices, fruit drinks, compotes and much more. Moreover, these liquids can be purchased without problems in any grocery store, but a considerable number of hostesses prefer to treat their family with natural drinks prepared at home.

Very often, when there is absolutely no time to cook compote or fruit juice, previously prepared sweet concentrates, in particular syrups, come to the rescue. The advantage of these products is that they are completely ready for consumption - just dilute the syrup with cold drinking water and a tasty cool drink is ready.

Among this type of food, orange syrup deserves special attention. The fact is that orange belongs to one of the most common tropical fruits in our country. In addition, the taste of orange syrup is unobtrusive, light sweetness with a fraction of sourness and an unsurpassed rich aroma.

The modern food industry provides just a huge range of all kinds of brands and brands of ready-made orange syrup, which goes on sale in glass bottles of different capacities. However, the long shelf life of orange syrup, its attractive solar color and expressive citrus taste are due to the use of not high-quality raw materials in the manufacturing process, but the addition of various food additives that cannot boast of a beneficial effect on human health.

In this regard, caring housewives prepare orange syrup on their own. By the way, the preparation of this concentrate does not require special skills and skills in the field of culinary art - it is enough to take care of the availability of the necessary products for the preparation of orange syrup in advance.

So, to make orange syrup at home, you need to have fresh oranges, water and sugar at hand. The process itself takes no more than 15 minutes, but the final result in the form of a fragrant, sticky orange syrup will delight you and your family for several months.

Orange syrup can be used not only for making soft drinks or low-alcohol cocktails. This concentrated product is remarkably suitable for decorating ready-made sweet meals: cakes (like soak for cakes), cakes, ice cream, soufflé, puddings, mousses and many other confectionery delights. In addition, orange syrup can be added to tea or coffee - due to it, the hot drink will have a pleasant citrus note, and the use of a sweetener will lose its relevance.
